However, on the PS Blog, Sony Computer Entertainment’s PS Store and Plus content manager Chris Howe confirmed that subscribers will get two free games per format – PS4, PS3 and PS Vita – on the first Wednesday of each month. New games will still be added each following month.

Persona 4 Golden has shipped 700,000 units and Dragon’s Crown has shipped 800,000 units. The figured include copies downloaded through the PlayStation Store. The firm recently put both games on sale through the New Year in Japan. Thanks, GI International.

A new trailer through the break celebrates this addition, and also gives a good look at the gameplay and customisation for those who might have been on the fence. Both PS3 and Vita versions aree available on the PlayStation Store or at retail, but unfortunately, cross-buy is not enabled.

In terms of bug fixes it’s graced by “improved gameplay stability, but there are a couple of new features and a list of balancing changes. Full patch notes within.

In an email from Atlus, the publisher promised that further patches are on the way and will be detailed once confirmed, and said it will continue gathering feedback from fans.

New Features:

Added an option to join random online games in the Labyrinth of Chaos to the Network Menu.

To enhance player character visibility, a triangular cursor has been added to the bottom of the screen.

Wizard: Charging MP when the MP is already at maximum will cause magic power to increase.

Feature Modifications

(PS3 version only) When playing offline multiplayer games, the story progression will now be saved for all characters.

If a network communication error occurs in online play, the game will now continue in the same stage rather than kicking the player back to town.

Amazon: A successful Parry raises Berserk level by 1.

Amazon: The Necksplitter attack can now be cancelled.

Various Skill effects of all character classes have been adjusted.

Other tuning and minor improvements to various gameplay elements were made.

It’s the developer’s most expensive project to date, which certainly explains the delay. It’s due on PlayStation 3 and Vita on August 6 in North America and later this year in Europe and beyond, but will not support cross-buy.

Thanks, Lengendaryboss.

“Dragon’s Crown is actually the first title our company has developed that has gone over the ¥100 million wall in costs,” VanillaWare founder and lead artist George Kamitani said on Twitter, according to Gematsu‘s translation.

“I’m very thankful to have met the release date without problems.”

¥100 million is almost exactly $1 million at the current exchange rate.

The Battle Arena is as it sounds, throwing characters against each other in battles of swords magic and skill. Here’s the footage:

Dragon’s Crown is coming to PS3 and PS Vita in North America on August 6, and is coming to Europe later this year.

It was posted over on 4Gamer’s YouTube Channel, so all the text is in Japanese, but you still get an idea of how things are accomplished. AGB also has some interesting new images for it posted. NIS America will publish Vanillaware’s latest in Europe on PS3 in northern autumn, and it arrives via Atlus in the US on August 6.

NIS America will publish Vanillaware’s latest in Europe on PS3 in northern autumn, but it arrives via Atlus in the US on August 6.

NIS America, which despite its name is a keen provider of games to hungry Europeans, has signed on to deliver Vanillaware’s latest, according to Eurogamer.

The PlayStation 3 and Vita title hits North America on August 6 via Atlus, but has not been dated for Europe beyond northern autumn.

A European release started to look extremely likely when the RPG was rated in Australia; publishers rarely rate a game that isn’t certain to be released, and it’s very unusual for a game to release in Australia but not other PAL territories.

Good news for Australia, then. There’s also a new video for it below showing off character customization, equipment, skills, cooking, PvP and other nice nuggets. Altus will publish the title in the US. Dragon’s Crown is headed to PS3 and Vita, and is slated for an August 6 release in North America.

“Currently, Index Digital Media, Inc. and the Atlus brand are unaffected by the Index Corporation proceedings in Japan,” a representative said in a statement published on Kotaku.

“We’re carrying on day-to-day activities, business as usual. Shin Megami Tensei 4 and Dragon’s Crown are still releasing on July 16 and August 6 respectively, and we’re licensing and publishing third-party titles such as R.I.P.D: The Game and Daylight. We want to thank all of our fans for their outpouring of support.”

The pack includes six voices – Amazon, Dwarf, Elf, Fighter, Sorceress and Wizard – which can be used in place of the generic narrator, making the game a little more personal. It will cost $2 once the grace period expires. The Vanillaware beat-’em-up is headed to PlayStation 3 and Vita.

She’s wearing next to nothing and this has sparked a debate in some circles. It’s all very ludicrous, but judge for yourself here.

Dragon’s Crown is heading to PS3 and PS Vita cross North America from June 30, and Europe is still waiting for a release date.

Siliconera reports the 64-page book includes character and environmental art with commentary from artists.

There’ll also be additional commissioned illustrations from three Japanese videogame artists: Akira Yasuda of Darkstalkers and Marvel vs Capcom, Kinu Nishimura of Code of Princess and, Virtue’s Last Reward, and Gouda Cheese of Super Street Fighter II and Darkstalkers.

Dragon’s Crown is headed to PS and Vita, and is due in North America in August.
